I remember we gave Da Luca a shot when it first opened in 2010. There was probably only another table of customers. And based on past experience, restaurants have not been able to survive long in that spot. We liked what we ate, a simple crab meat pink sauce linguine and squid ink risotto and told ourselves we would be back.
And back we were! Since it was so near to our old place, we would definitely eat it at least once a month or two, perhaps?
Since we moved, I had less chances of going back. It would surely be one of my options whenever I craved for Italian food though.
On one of those Fridays, I craved for Italian and went there with our family friend. For starters, we had the mussels in white wine sauce and the burrata with parma, rocket and balsamico. For those who don't know what are burratas - they are like buffalo mozzarella but with a much softer, creamier centre. The mussels were so so only, maybe not in season.
For mains, we shared the Florentina steak (i think 1.5kg bone in). This was perfectly done and came with a separate plate of my favourite sides - grilled corn, asparagus, mushrooms and potatoes. I can assuredly say that this place serves the best Florentina steak in town.
The dinner was especially enjoyable with the presence of 2 bottles of italian red too. Coupled with the company of good friends and lack of kid, this was mini heaven to me.
